UNIQLO

To commemorate its 15th anniversary, UNIQLO Malaysia has donated RM200,000 (approx US$47,000) – raised through its local paper bag charge initiative – to the Global Environment Centre (GEC). The three-year project will support mangrove forest conservation in Mersing, Johor, a flood-prone coastal area in southern Malaysia. This initiative also includes community engagement efforts to strengthen environmental awareness and local resilience. This activity is part of UNIQLO Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to contribute to environmental sustainability at the local level. Together, we’re shaping a future where business growth and environmental care go hand in hand.   #UNIQLO #MangroveConservation #Sustainability #LifeWear #PowerofClothing #UNIQLOMALAYSIA #Donation

Celebrating World Environment Day, UNIQLO in Korea gave a behind-the-scenes look at how clothing donated by customers is reused and recycled in meaningful ways. In this special video, UNIQLO’s efforts to promote a more sustainable society are highlighted, with donated clothing items sorted and provided to local organizations that support refugees, homeless shelters, and facilities supporting those affected by domestic violence. Clothing that is no longer suitable for wear is transformed into fiber panels, which are manufactured into pieces of upcycled furniture for children. By putting a spotlight on the journey of clothing after donation, UNIQLO in Korea hopes that more customers will be encouraged to donate their own clothing – helping to give it a second life that makes life better for more people. #UNIQLO #UniqloKorea #REUniqlo #Sustainability #WorldEnvironmentDay #Powerofclothing

UNIQLO holds employee training program in Daegu, South Korea, to support long-Term employment of people with disabilities and foster a diverse, inclusive culture     In May, UNIQLO in South Korea held a Job Retention and Skills Enhancement Program to support employees with a disability to thrive, and to contribute to UNIQLO’s diverse and inclusive work culture. The program was held in Daegu, the third largest city in South Korea, partnering with the Korea Employment Agency for Persons with Disabilities (KEAD).    Participating in the program were a total of six employees with disabilities and one employee without a disability, joining from stores across Daegu. This program, split across four sessions and led by a professional instructor, focused on enhancing employee competencies through classes on personal care, workplace etiquette, payroll management, and cybercrime prevention.    UNIQLO in South Korea began proactively hiring people with disabilities in 2010. As of now, a total of 70 employees with disabilities are working in 58 stores in South Korea, representing a 5.8% employment rate of people with disabilities – far exceeding the mandatory rate of 3.1% set by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.    UNIQLO is proud to support the professional and personal growth of all our employees, and we will continue to do our best to create an inclusive work environment where employees both with and without disabilities can thrive.

A significant step in UNIQLO’s efforts to invest in local talent and contribute to India’s economic prosperity, in partnership with Plan International, this project will provide skill development opportunities for underprivileged youth. The three-year project is funded through UNIQLO’s PEACE FOR ALL initiative, through which UNIQLO parent company Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. will provide a donation of 120 million Japanese Yen (approx. INR 7 Cr; calculated as per exchange rate of March 18, 2025, 1 Japanese Yen = INR 0.58).   The Job Oriented Vocational Training Centre, located in Dwarka, New Delhi, India will offer practical skills and training for young people in three main areas: general nursing & care assistant services, retail, and sewing machine operation. We hope this project will have a life-changing, positive impact for thousands of young Indian people. It is a fundamental for UNIQLO that, in every country and region that we operate, we always contribute to society, and this new project reaffirms our long-term commitment to the Indian community. #uniqlo #lifewear #powerofclothing #whatmakeslifebetter #uniqloindia #sustainability #peaceforall #donation #localcommunitycontribution
